all 14 of them are sitting on harry reid's desk. he won't allow the senate to vote. so let me ask you a question, which is if you voted to fund the men and women of the active military, why are democrats blocking funding to v.a.? do our veterans not deserve the same treatment that our active duty military do? >> i'll concede that the active military was a good thing to pay for. >> but not the veterans? >> no matter how many individual hostages you decide to let go, there will still be others. it doesn't change your underlying dynamic, which is to insist on holding hostages during a negotiation. and whether you let the v.a. go, fine, that's great. but then you still have other people who are getting essential services from government and they all continue to suffer. there is no need to create an artificial crisis and to harm all these people in the country if you really want good faith negotiations. if what you want is negotiations with a gun to the president's head to force unpopular choices on the american public, that's a different situation. >> why is it a hostage

>> look, harry reid and president obama brought him into this ditch. he tried -- neither of them wanted to negotiate at all. that's where they've been, but going forward, there's been a lot of things we've worked with speaker boehner on. not one democrat voted for a farm bill. most people would have said that could never be got. we want to work -- >> i think the speaker raises a important question. i this think he has to make the decision, does he want to govern or be the leader of the republican caucus? on every issue, on the immigration bill, on the infrastructure plan, on dealing with the budget, if he's prepared to accept a governing coalition and some group of republicans, we can get the work done. that's what our country needs right now. >> i was here with tip o'neil, and you had this kind of coalition. it was virtually all the republicans. >>> i think what has to happen is speaker boehner has to accept the nothing what is right is to building a coalition they can pass bills in the house, but they're going nowhere. >>> is the problem is you passe
